In the spring of 07 Washoe County Parks gave us as a project, a 1937 International Farmall F-12. The tractor was donated to the Bartley Ranch some 10 plus years ago. Having been exposed to the elements for to many years it was in real rough shape. Tires were flat, engine wouldn't turn over, radiator leaked, gas tank leaked and the magneto was in pieces. Were we up to the challenge? Time would tell. We started with as much help as we could get together removing as many parts as we could. The crankcase had been full of water, pistons were rusted solid to the sleeves. We were wondering if this tractor would ever run again? But we had accepted the challenge and the work had begun. After many hours of wire brushing and sandblasting the tractor looked like it would run again. Found a radiator core that was good, rebuilt the oil pump, carburetor and fuel pump. Took the head and crank to the machine shop and after getting it back, and after putting the engine back together, everything is ready for a paint job. After a paint job, reassembly and starting was all that remained. Getting the old girl to fire was the next challenge. After several hours of dragging it around we had it running but not well, carburetor needed a little more work, magneto had a short. After a few more hours of tinkering, the tractor was now running great. The following weekend we delivered the F-12 where it now is proudly on display to all who wants to see her.
